Created from noise-resistant, conductive threads, a high-tech new smart fabric could find uses in health monitoring, sports ...

What just happened? Researchers in Sweden have developed a new type of conductive silk thread that can transform textiles into thermoelectric generators. The innovative material harnesses the ...

She's young, she's hip and she has a thing for zombies. Cheryl Sleboda of Plainfield, Ill., inserts light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into her whimsical fabric creations, sews them with conductive thread ...

(Nanowerk News) Thermoelectric textiles convert temperature differences, for example between our bodies and the surrounding air, into an electrical potential. This technology can be of great benefit ...

Chemical and nanoengineers at Rice University have become the first team to create long (hundreds of meters), macroscopic, mass-producible carbon nanotube thread. This thread is about the thickness of ...

A research group, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, presents an ordinary silk thread, coated with a conductive plastic material, that shows promising properties for turning textiles ...
